This format of video is EVERYTHING OMG and the SUNSET BYE WTF THIS SPOT IS SO GOOD😭❤❤ my fav video yet
Thank you Julia!! 😭🤍🤍 you’re the best!!
GORGEOUS!! Athena looks so happy and was looking at the sunset as if thinking WOW how beautiful...love it
Right! She was enjoying the scenery too 🥰
OMG that scenery is just stunning those mountains .... just wow . I'm from Essex in the U.K , about as boring a scenic place as you can find . I Love watching your videos . The courage you have for just being out there alone ( with the gorgeous Athena obs lol ) is truly awe inspiring . Thankyou for uploading x keep them coming x
Oh gosh, thank you so much 🤍 I’d love to visit the UK at some point!
It feels like you haven't posted for a while so it's good to see you again. That last spot looked perfect: beautiful view, wide open and dry, and windy (mosquitoes hate that).
Hiii good to see you! ☺️ I did post last week, but didn’t post for a bit before that!
@@madilynndawn I either missed it or had a senior moment 🤣
You pick the best spots. Epic scenery 👋
@@madilynndawn I checked. It was a senior moment 😉
I wish the whole world took recycling that serious. I get so frustrated over how much needs to be done in every state to ensure recyable materials are handled properly and taken seriously.
I agree! And I wish what is recyclable and what isn’t was taught to people more.
Gorgeous view!
Cedarwood essential oil will keep the bugs off. I use it as a natural alternative on myself and my pooch. For her, I put it on her harness or a bandana.
Oh thank you for the tip!! I felt so bad for Athena, they were all over her face :,( I’ll have to try that.
@@madilynndawn You're welcome 🤗 Good luck, love watching where you wander to. Be safe, you're a very brave driver!
Beautiful scenery! Looks like a good Summer of adventure. Your dog seems to like the freedom also. Enjoy!
She loves running around, she has so much energy!!
Aloha Madi! Always a pleasure to see you girls! You definitely found yourself a gorgeous spot. Cool hikes, swimming etc. Looking forward to the next video ❤
The open windy areas offer some relief from the bugs. trade off but thats what I look for always.
this whole video is sooo cute! The scenery, the flowers, Athena playing, the mini printer for your journal 🥹💝 chefs kiss
Hey madilynn, that spot you found at the end was stunning!! I love this retrospective style of video. There are so many challenges to your way of life and it must be so difficult sometimes just wanting to be stationary and find stability in one spot but not being able to find something ideal for your needs - but as you said in the video every challenge led you to the beautiful finale! That shot of your silhouette in front of the sunset over the mountains was incredible. I love following your story 🫶🏼 please keep sharing these amazing highs and lows! You’re fantastic ! Love from Poppy in Australia ☺️🎀
0:49 😍✨ soo cute♥️
How fun to add photos to your journal! A treasure in the making. Another fun video to watch 😎
Mosquitoes can be such a pain! I have a friend who works in Yosemite NP and he got a bunch of mosquito gear including a net for his face so he doesn't get eaten when he goes fishing. It looks ridicules but it might be worth investing so you can be confident in any place you find that you have a plan to ward off the blood suckers! He just got his gear from Amazon.
The photo printer for the iPhone is top tier
Try this on guitar. Take your tuner and tune both e strings, the top and bottom string, down to D. Then play the two top strings of a D chord, letting all those D's resonate. Very good for omming
Mosquitos are a terrible necessity for sure lol. I have a few small ponds on the property and some times they can just be awful at peak times in the summer. Spring and fall isn't bad at all though. I'm considering looking into getting some Dragonfly Nymphs or something to cut the numbers down, use nature to fight nature. That's such a cool little photo printer, perfect for scrap books for sure.
Always such chill videos to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ☺️
❤❤
Your final camping spot looked amazing. Wind equals no mosquitoes it's great isn't it. 😂
Just a comment/nit/thought - I don't think fans work the same for dogs as they do people. People sweat and the fan helps evaporates the sweat and which cools them off. I guess if the fan is blowing in the dog's mouth it would be the same.
Hi Madilynn 👋
What a fabulous camp spot you found in the end, so beautiful. That view and the sunset - stunning. I love the end shot of you in silhouette against it.
May I ask about your little printer? I have a Pooliprint, but it only does basic black and white thermal images. Yours seems great. Do you have a link by any chance?
Happy travels!
Love from Scotland x
Hii!! I don’t know if links work in the comments, but if you search up “HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer” it should come up! I love that little thing :) thank you!! 🤍
@@madilynndawn Thanks so much, Madilynn
well this looks fun
Wow, that’s so frustrating. But what a great spot you found. What a view.
Good morning from Atlanta ❤, thanks for sharing your adventures. Stay BLESSED and SAFE
Good morning 🥰 thank you!!

Always Amazing thank you so much for sharing 😊❤
Thank you 😊

❤ missed ya
Love your videos, The heat hits Montana in a few days.My allergies are wild this year.
I’ve heard allergies are bad for a lot of people! I’ve never had allergies before, so something is up. Thank you! :))
Thanks for this video, very nice! Love the Teaton area. Are you heading to Montana next? yellowstone is not too far north.
hola treacherous amiga :)
this was a treacherous vid to watch. 😅
but anyway, the Tetons have been on my radar for a long, long ass time. also, I love that you capped the vid with your sunset silhouette. your sun-ouette lol
stay safe and treacherous 😉. much love 🤙
Hiii, get yourself to the Tetons, it’s worth it!! You can make your own sun-ouette 😂 take care!
I'm thinking this year in general was a perfect storm for lots of bugs D:
11:46 beautiful capture! Amazing view
Thank you :,)
The mosquitos are like no other in the Yellowstone Jackson hole area 😅
Awesome scenery 👌 that photo printer is cool!
get the thermacell rechargeable repellent device. v1 works better then v2 and makes less noise on start up. i have both and use the v1 when i play disc golf. its not meant to move around but when i set my bag down to throw and all my friends throw it enough time for the bugs to leave. and the v2 i just leave in the van but i leave my van door open and have it on the foot step and it just does its job and no bugs. well at least no bugs that drink your blood lol they are kinda spendy but well worth it in my opinion. i live in WA and we get so many dumb mosquitos
This is the third time I’ve been recommended the thermacell so I will have to pick one up and try it out. Thank you!! ((P.s. I’m from Washington too ☺️))
@@madilynndawn niiice im in the lacey/olympia area and i also have a van built out its a odyssey and already did a trip to disneyland and universal studios but plan on going back to bend, OR for a week or so soon. but yea i used it agian today play disc golf and no bugs why we can hear the card infront of us complaining LOL :)
Cool 😎
Athena is relaxing in the grass like a baby deer.😅
Right! depending on what she’s doing, she’s like a deer, coyote, or fox 😂
I've just started watching your channel and I love your content and this video is amazingly Gorgeous, keep up the amazing work 💛 also your an Beautiful woman, very attractive 💪🙏
Apply spray to the hand and rub exposed areas.
oh mg gosh the phone printer is so cool!!
Always look forward to your videos hi im from Ontario Canada van camper
Thanks
Thank you! 🥺🤍
What app do you use to find campsites? Just curious. :) :) Also, can you link which photo printer that is? Looks sooper cool!!
Hi! I use iOverlander for the app. The photo printer is called “HP Sprocket Portable Printer” :) I don’t think I can link, but if you search that up in Google it will come up!
@@madilynndawn Thank you very much for interacting and the information!
If you suffer from allergy you should go to se a Chineese a acupuncturist, few treatments and no more allergy.. i have done it and two of my friends too
That all looks horribly fun 😂 camp where there's lots of dragons to eat the mosquitoes 😎
You look great :D Great Video
You are just getting so lucky with all the great spots, you just have to push a little further up that yellow brick road that's all in shambles and finally land on this gorgeous landscapes. Will you ever get another electric cooler / fridge after the ordeal of the last one getting stolen? Thanks for Sharing Mads... p.s. I will find you a name of a mosquito repellent canister that you can put around your campsite to deflect them pesky mosquitos, another youtuber swears by them.
I will eventually get another fridge I’m sure. I’m just not sure when 😅 thank you for being here & watching and being so kind!! :)
Love the videos you need some rick astley playing in the back ground lmao❤
Your last vid was so good.,
heyy same van gang
astro ganggggg 🤪
Good video! You seem to be monologuing a short story in the video describing what you were experiencing, do you do a lot of writing?
Thank you! I decided to try something a bit different from my usual voice overs. And yes, i do write quite a bit!
Nice day
You should have taken off the sign and put it in the recycling bin, lol.
Do you have a link to that photo printer great video
Expensive BUG SPRAY repellent and bug zapper. Cover up with thin layers.
Very enjoyable video but the bugs, yikes. Miss the cooking and it seems your posts lately end abruptly is that what you intend?
Heard from your friend Rosa? We hope she hasn't been eaten by a bear
😂 Rosa has not been eaten by a bear & she is doing well :))
If you need a boy toy to keep you company you can ask me.
Athena & Madilynn, Love to see them travelin. 🤩 Glad you found such a great place to camp in all your searching. Dang skeeters! 🦟 I'm glad you got that 12v fan. It will help you & Athena get through the hot summer days and nights. The tiny photo printer is a handy little gadget. 🙂 I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of it. Happy 4th! 🎆🎇🧨
Thank you ☺️ I’m happy i ended up in that spot too, despite the journey to get there! Happy 4th! 🎆
